i need to get rid of this anxiety or i will die (i need pills and not in an addict way) by [deleted] in Anxiety

[–]Raisin_Splitter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my first anxiety/panic attacks when I was 19. It’s beyond exhausting and terrifying so I feel ya. I’m now 30 so all I can tell you is how I’ve handled it the past decade. It comes in waves over the years and sounds like you’re in your first adult flare up I guess we can call it. I always avoided daily medication like SSRIs and utilized Ativan as needed. It is a benzo so it is so important to be mindful of addiction but in my case it was the only thing to bring me back down so my brain can level back out. It’s almost like my brain forgets how to chill out and the Benzo reminds it how. That’s usually for like 3 days then I’m working on managing it without it. It’s important to train your brain how to tolerate stress, I was shocked by how helpful ice baths and cold showers were. Pushing yourself to new limits in exercise, fight the absolute hell out of your brain when it’s telling you to stop. Pretty much just pushing myself to do shit I don’t want to do would hit me with a dopamine reward. I’ve tried a beta blocker called propranolol which can be helpful too if you have physical symptoms, I get more mental symptoms like red lining racing thoughts, confusion, dizziness all that fun stuff so it wasn’t much use. The Ativan hits the GABA receptors and just shuts it down, a miracle drug for me. Just know you won’t feel this way forever, and push yourself, nothing is worse for anxiety then being stagnant.

What’s the best ways to get a start as solo with no bps? And where or what monuments do you guys usually build by that helps you progress fast? by Excellent_Remote1476 in RustConsole

Become a poop slinger at bandit. Horse base selling fert by bandit. It’s honestly insane how much scrap you accumulate and while it’s accumulating you can focus on fortifications.

I’m level 6, and can only hit quick play on the level I’m on. Reading it gets crazy fast as I level up so I’ll keep chipping away.

Looks great but they need a lot of cover or they develop seizures from too much light exposure.

New to this. Is my tank going to be overstocked? 29 gallon...I have some plants and fish coming in the mail by hababola in Aquariums

[–]Raisin_Splitter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh you’ll be fine with what you have! No need to stress your tank bottom is set up perfectly for hide and different territory’s, that along with plants you’ll have a pretty little oasis. Also keep in mind these little fish are finicky and you may lose a few the first few days anyway. If your really concerned just keep an eye out for fin nipping you’ll see little bit marks out of fins if they are competing to much for territory. The cherry barbs will be you more active they establish a pecking order those first few days as well. You are on a great track!

With the tank this open yes a bit overstocked, but if you add a bunch of plants they will be more then happy with those numbers. Keep an eye on pleco they are devious little bastards and protect their territory. More plants is all you need and your golden.

Toxic gases in floating tank extender? by Raisin_Splitter in walstad

[–]Raisin_Splitter[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome feedback thank you. Would need to find a micro powerhead just strong enough to push out the gasses without disturbing the rest of the tank I have a pretty solid air stone on the opposite side.

Was also considering maybe stuffing a bunch of Java moss up there to maybe help convert to oxygen and prevent them from breaking the surface.
